Real Madrid Captain Sergio Ramos Admits He Considered Manchester United Move
Premier League giants Manchester United were reportedly close to signing Real Madrid defender Sergio Ramos in the off-season.
Sergio Ramos has admitted he considered joining Manchester United during the off-season, but added that remaining at Real Madrid was always his top priority.
Ramos signed a new five-year contract with Madrid in August but had been heavily linked with a move to Old Trafford for the 2015-16 season.
The transfer never materialised, despite widespread media speculation.
However, the 30-year-old Madrid captain revealed swapping La Liga for the Premier League did cross his mind.
"There was an offer from United," Ramos said in an interview with COPE.
"I considered changing for a while but Real Madrid was always my priority and there were no economic reasons."
